About MAP / Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate

 

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a water soluble vitamin C derivative (L-Ascorbic acid mono-dihydrogen phosphate magnesium salt) with superior percutaneous absorption and stability.

 

MAP is an excellent non-irritating skin whitening agent that inhibits skin cells to produce melanin and lightens age spots.

 

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a potent anti-oxidant (protects skin from oxidation incl. UV rays) and it inhibits lipid-peroxidation. 

 

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate is an anti-inflammatory and it promotes collagen synthesis. 

 

MAP does not degrade in formulas containing water.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP) is a vitamin C derivative that has better stability than absorbic acid. In DIY skin care MAP is often used for: UV protection and repair, collagen production, skin lightening and brightening, and as an anti-inflammatory. It is also a potent antioxidant.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate in skin care:

 

  • antioxidant
  • anti-inflammatory
  • collagen production
  • lightening & brightening
  • sun damage protection
  • sun damage repair

 

We have replaced the MAP

(Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate) 

 with

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

 

 

SAP has the SAME action as MAP, but offers BETTER solubility.
